Nox Ventus Control 12K by Aránzazu Osoro 2027 is an original round padel racket from the premium Luxury line. It is the signature model of Argentine player Aránzazu Osoro, known as “La Vikinga”. It is built for a player who wins points with patience, precise ball placement and confident defence, not brute force. 12K carbon, the MLD Black EVA core and the Dual Spin surface deliver a crisp response, control and enough power to finish the point.
The round shape and 38 mm thickness make the racket predictable and comfortable in defence, while the 360-375 g weight adds stability when returning hard shots. The Weight Balance system lets you adjust the balance to your own feel, and the anti-vibration solutions in the handle and frame reduce strain on the wrist.

Technologies
- 12K Carbon - dry, crisp response with retained stiffness thanks to carbon strands woven vertically and horizontally; according to NOX, the material is thinner and about 25% lighter than standard.
- MLD Black EVA - multilayer core with rubber of different densities: softer layers help launch the ball in defence at low speed, denser layers add rebound in smashes.
- Carbon Frame - carbon frame: increases the stiffness and durability of the whole racket.
- VCS - elastomer across the entire inner surface of the handle: absorbs impact and vibration and, according to NOX, reduces the load on the wrist by up to 56%.
- Pulse System - additional reduction of the vibration transmitted to the hand, thanks to side rubbers running from the base of the frame to the racket cap.
- EOS Tunnel - lateral perforations in the frame, in the throat (triangle) area of the racket: they improve aerodynamics and weight distribution, so the racket cuts through the air faster on impact.
- Dual Spin - 3D texture and sandblasted coating: more spin options without losing surface durability.
- Dynamic Composite Structure - the frame material extends several centimetres into the face: the stiffness difference between frame and face is imperceptible, and the risk of cracks is lower.
- Custom Grip - patented NOX technology certified by Testea Padel: improves grip and reduces vibration.
- Smart Strap - a system for quick and easy replacement of the grip wrap, with no extra effort.
- Weight Balance - interchangeable 2 g and 4 g counterweights, compatible with the frame protector: the balance is tailored to your playing style.
Key benefits of the Nox Ventus Control 12K padel racket
- Control in every shot. The round shape of this padel racket and the 12K carbon face give the largest clean-hitting area and a dry, direct response. You place the ball precisely, build the rally with patience and calmly handle your opponents’ difficult shots.
- Wrist comfort. The new VCS together with Pulse System dampens vibration, so long rallies and training sessions feel easier, even with a stiff carbon face.
- Balance for your style. Weight Balance with 2 g and 4 g counterweights (up to 8 g) lets you choose: manoeuvrability in defence or more mass for power in smashes.
- Speed and manoeuvrability. EOS Tunnel and the updated Luxury series racket geometry improve aerodynamics, so the racket is faster in exchanges, especially at the net during quick volleys.
- Spin and convenience. Dual Spin helps you put spin on the ball, Custom Grip keeps the racket steady in a sweaty hand, and Smart Strap saves time when changing the grip.
Comparison with other models
The previous version, Ventus Control 12K 2026, had the same round shape, MLD Black EVA core, 12K carbon and 360-375 g weight. The main updates for 2027 are the VCS system, which reduces impact on the wrist by up to 56%, and the interchangeable Weight Balance counterweights. Among the other rackets in the Ventus series, the Control model is the most control-oriented, while the Hybrid 12K variants are designed to balance control and power.
Who is this racket for
- Level: advanced players and amateurs ready for a stiffer racket.
- Playing style: control, defence, tactical play based on accuracy.
- Feel: for those who like a crisp response and are ready to create power through technique.
Recommendation: the Nox Ventus Control 12K suits a player who builds the rally with lobs, precise ball placement into the corners and patience, rather than force. If you need extra mass for smashes, the racket lets you add it without losing handling. For constant attacking from the net, it is better to choose the Nox Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite 2027.
Care and recommendations
- Do not leave the racket in the sun or in the car. Heat damages the elasticity of the EVA core.
- Protect the frame from impacts. Protector tape helps, and it is compatible with Weight Balance.
- Wipe the racket after playing with a damp soft cloth, without harsh products.
- Store it in a cover or thermal bag (Thermo Bag) to avoid moisture and temperature swings.
- Keep an eye on its condition: cracks, vibration or a change in sound on impact are a sign to replace the racket.
